I sat outside the other day, on the front stoop, watching the butterflies land on the Buddleia Tree. It's supposed to be the one that they favoured, and it was amazing to watch them drink and perch and wobble in the air.
They weren't even bothered that I was sitting amongst the plants, just waiting to get a glimpse.
So beautiful. So many butterflies this year.
Buddleia, Butterfly bush, honours the name of the Reverend Adam Buddle (1662-1715), who was a botanist and minister in Essex. About 100 species of shrubs, and a few are tree like.It shoots up to 5-6 ft and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
Okay, it's really summer now......
